Across the Vanishing Sky by Catherine Cowels (Starlight Grove #1)

He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past…but to save her, he’ll wade back into the shadows.

Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove—the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who’d sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won’t stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth.

She just didn’t count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door.

Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend—silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers’ violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search.

The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again.

Only someone isn’t happy that Brae has been digging, and they’ll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He’ll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark…

A new series by Catherine Cowles?! Sign me up. A series about a bunch of brothers? Say less.

What a great book to start a series. Catherine always has us going in so many different directions in these romantic suspense books. I actually had a couple guesses on who the “bad guy” was but I figured it out & was right!

Right out the gate, you are pulled into this book.. I loved the brother dynamics, the way Dex was with Owen & Brae even after he was such a grump with her from the beginning. We love when he is a grump just for her!

CC always has such a good way of creating the best family dynamics & thats just what Owen & Brae needed. I truly loved all the twists, turns, & love that came from this crazy ride!

When I tell you I cannot wait for the next book.. whew! All of the brothers books honestly, I know they are going to just keep getting better and better as the series continues!

Thank you Catherine for the ARC & ALC forever and ever thankful!

Across the Vanishing Sky is available everywhere you buy books, audible & KU.
